Thank you LORD for this beautiful dayOf moments and opportunities –Thank you for my husband’sSweet temperament – hisQuiet acceptance –His willingnessTo be hereWith meThank you for insight I think I have –Even if I don’t –I chatter to my husbandQuestions he doesn’t answer –And I wonderIf he sees meAs though IWere a bird thatTweets
Thank you for the way he listens –Saying not a word – yetGiving me his raptAttention – blue eyesFocusing on me –No – it’s notAlzheimer’s – butMy dear husbandI see

James 5:10-11 – The Bible (KJV) – Take, my brethren, the prophets, who have spoken in the name of the Lord, for an example of suffering affliction, and of patience. Behold, we count them happy which endure. Ye have heard of the patience of Job, and have seen the end of the Lord; that the Lord is very pitiful, and of tender mercy.

About Carol Ann Hoel

The new me - Carol Ann. More suitably said, the old me in new circumstances of life. Again. My history has developed in parts and chapters. In person, I am Wife, Mom, Grandma, Author, and Writer, in that order, more or less. Life is good because God is good.

Thank you, Janna. God is good. I can see so many ways I could be undone, yet the Lord makes a way in the wilderness. The past few days have been a struggle with my health. All the advice people have been giving me to take care of myself was right. I must make sure that my priorities protect my health. Thank you for your kind comment. Blessings to you…

“It’s not Alzheimers, but my dear husband I see.” Heartfelt and Inspiring. Being the caregiver is a tough job. Being the caregiver for a loved one with Alzheimers is beyond tough. My hats off to you. Prayers coming your way.

Thank you for your prayers, LeRoy. I appreciate it and need it very much. My husband is doing well now, but he had an issue with constantly low blood pressure for a few weeks. God is good and his blood pressure is better now. Blessings to you…

Thank you, Carol. I need patience. I notice that my patience wears thin toward evening. I’m making sure I get enough rest so that I don’t become a mean old hag at night. My hubby deserves to have my best behavior all day long and all night long. Blessings to you…

I love your heart and soul, and your attitude regarding Alzheimer’s. It has not touched my life, personally, but I know several whose it has. Your grace and perseverance are truly amazing. Blessings to you and Johannes.
